What does Valentino Donna Born In Roma Ruby smell like?

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate. The number of votes is small, so this is only a rough guide, but it seems to sit closer to the skin than it fills a room. It is positioned as a women's fragrance.

Blackberry and strawberry lead at the top, giving a clear red-fruit sweetness from the first moment. In the heart, jasmine sambac absolute adds a soft floral touch. Bourbon vanilla in the base keeps the gourmand, sweet mood going, with a slightly synthetic sheen in the accords.
